COMMENTS
Rediscovered by the HR automatic theory formation program.
a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487, A046523). So a(24) = a(375) since 24 = 2^3*3 and 375 = 3*5^3 both have prime signature (3, 1).
First differences of A013936. Average value tends towards Pi^2/6 = 1.644934... (A013661, A013679). - Henry Bottomley, Aug 16 2001
We have a(n) = A159631(n) for all n < 125, but a(125) = 2 < 3 = A159631(125). - Steven Finch, Apr 22 2009
Number of 2-generated Abelian groups of order n, if n > 1. - Álvar Ibeas, Dec 22 2014 [In other words, number of order-n abelian groups with rank <= 2. Proof: let b(n) be such number. A finite abelian group is the inner direct product of all Sylow-p subgroups, so {b(n)} is multiplicative. Obviously b(p^e) = floor(e/2)+1 (corresponding to the groups C_(p^r) X C_(p^(e-r)) for 0 <= r <= floor(e/2)), hence b(n) = a(n) for all n. - Jianing Song, Nov 05 2022]

FORMULA
a(p^k) = A008619(k) = [k/2] + 1. a(A002110(n)) = 1 for all n. (This is true for any squarefree number, A005117). - Original notes clarified by Antti Karttunen, Nov 14 2016
a(n) = |{(i, j) : i*j = n AND i|j}| = |{(i, j) : i*j^2 = n}|. Also tau(A000188(n)), where tau = A000005.
Multiplicative with p^e --> floor(e/2) + 1, p prime. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 20 2007
a(A130279(n)) = n and a(m) <> n for m < A130279(n); A008966(n)=0^(a(n) - 1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 20 2007
Inverse Moebius transform of characteristic function of squares (A010052). Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s)*zeta(2s).
G.f.: Sum_{k > 0} x^(k^2)/(1 - x^(k^2)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 13 2002
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..A000005(n)} A010052(A027750(n,k)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 16 2013
a(n) = Sum_{k = 1..n} ( floor(n/k^2) - floor((n-1)/k^2) ). - Peter Bala, Feb 17 2014
From Antti Karttunen, Nov 14 2016: (Start)
a(1) = 1; for n > 1, a(n) = A008619(A007814(n)) * a(A064989(n)).
a(n) = A278161(A156552(n)).

From Antti Karttunen, Nov 12 2017: (Start)
a(n) = A000005(n) - A056595(n).
a(n) = 1 + A071325(n).
a(n) = 1 + A001222(A293515(n)).
(End)
L.g.f.: -log(Product_{k>=1} (1 - x^(k^2))^(1/k^2)) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n/n. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 30 2018
a(n) = Sum_{d|n} A000005(d) * A008836(n/d). - Torlach Rush, Jan 21 2020
a(n) = A000005(sqrt(A008833(n))). - Amiram Eldar, Jul 07 2020
a(n) = Sum_{d divides n} mu(core(d)^2), where core(n) = A007913(n). - Peter Bala, Jan 24 2024
EXAMPLE
a(16) = 3 because the squares 1, 4, and 16 divide 16.
G.f. = x + x^2 + x^3 + 2*x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + 2*x^8 + 2*x^9 + x^10 + ...
